What awaits you at Hölloch

Caves are among the most fascinating natural spectacles there are. The experience of wandering inside the earth and discovering its branching systems is unique. The Hölloch is the largest cave in Switzerland and Europe. Its size even makes it a world record holder: no cave in the world is simultaneously so long and so deep. The Hölloch has a total length of 210 km and a difference in altitude of 1033 meters.

The cave offers a wide range of guided tours. You can choose between different expedition lengths and the destination of the tour. There is everything from 2-hour short tours to full-day tours. On one tour, visitors can even enjoy dinner in the cave.

Who is the Hölloch suitable for

Thanks to the many offers for various expeditions into the cave, a visit is doable for anyone with a normal fitness level. Claustrophobia shouldn’t be a big issue either, as the paths in the Hölloch are generally quite spacious. Visitors who can easily use a regular four-person lift should not experience any claustrophobia in the cave.

With a constant temperature of 6°C throughout the year, and with the weather outside being irrelevant, visiting the Hölloch is one of the perfect bad weather ideas in Switzerland.

However, the cave is not accessible with strollers, wheelchairs, or dogs. A trip to the Hölloch is, however, an excellent choice for a school or family outing. It’s also a fantastic activity for smaller, private team events.
